Selling

ive found since returning that theres  an abundance of low to mid range items for sale all the time, but the REALLY NICE stuff rarely
appears anymore. a few years back if you dipped into the for sale section at any time you could guarantee to find a plethora of
sexy bits. now your lucky if you see high end items at all.

PS anyone got any yellow skyway pro pads or gen2 profile cranks   :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol:

I think high end stuff still sells no problem ,, I sell and buy alot by pm  .  :)

The For sale section on here is slow as alot of people want it for less  .

To be honest,,, IMO there's a feww reasons sales may seem slower

 The obvious ,,Global economy ,,many tightening their purse strings , as everything has increased in price, fuel ,leisure , living  :(

over the past years a lot of members sold their parts for a profit and now complain 2 or 3 years on they can't afford to pay the prices ,, but they were happy to sell making a  big profit and help bump prices up , and now regret selling  their irreplaceable builds  :smitten:

or  the 75% of members who come, for a couple of years , done the bikes they wanted to and gone. ::)

The main biggest killer of Old school parts sales is REPRODUCTION parts,, if it wasn't for these , the genuine O/S parts market would be alot busier  :-\

The big compnies who've seen the market ,churned out phoney retro gear have made a killing and will probably tell you they still are , so no downturn for them  :crazy2:

ozone:
After experiencing the good old days of being able to buy a NOS frameset and furnish it with NOS kit for under 1K, I wouldn't dream of paying the current going rate for polished/restored or NOS/fitted parts.

I'll leave that to noobs who don't know any different.    ;)

I really do hope the ar$e falls out of the scene ASAP which will p!ss off the band-wagoners who regard OSBMX as nothing more than a moneyspinner or investment.  The people who are in it for the love won't mind though will they?   >:D

Swivel:
I agree that prices have been fricking stupid over the last year or so, be nice to complete a bike to a high spec under 1k nowadays but just isn't possible.
